My elderly step-grandmother asked me about m-- when I had the pleasure of seeing her during a brief family reunion. "Are you going to get m-- before your Papa dies?" she asked. My breath choked in my throat the way it always does, and I hope she took this to mean that I objected to the question both physically and metaphysically.
But with equal offense, I returned: "Well, when is Papa going to die?"
